    Ridiculous party that everyone graduating from high school in Norway undergoes, here’s the site for the bus my friend was on.

    In short: outfit an old bus with a bar, a soundsystem, and 30 kids and cruise around for a month. Everyone does this. America does not know how to party.

    Toronto International Film Festival

    Then, after having interspersed the music with his own freestyle comedy all day, Chappelle comes out to announce the headline act: The Fugees. For the first time since 1997, Lauryn Hill, Pras and Wyclef Jean hit the stage together. There are gasps. And then the music kicks in.

    I’d love to get my hands on this.

    City Pages - Gagging Dr. Dean

    I’ve always liked Dean, maybe it’s a minneapolis thing… It’s a shame he didn’t get the chance to run against Bush.

    ...about one-tenth of 1 percent of Americans give 80 percent of the total moneys received by the two major political parties.

    Democrats are just too critical of Dean, they must really not like him. On his accusation that the Republican party is becoming too much of a christian flag bearer:

    When was the last time Democrats censured a party official for airing a criticism of Republicans that happened also to be the single most prominent complaint inside GOP party circles

    But the [democratic] party establishment has no taste for indulging the sort of political hyperbole routinely used by Republicans against it, even when popular sentiment is on the Democrats’ side.

    Democrats don’t like Dean (1) because of his “taste for the populist rhetorical style,” and (2) because he is “threatens to refigure the fundraising base of the party,” and shift the hierarchy of the party itself.

    The time is ripe for a full-throated attack on corruption in the halls of business and government and especially in our profiteering health care system. Howard Dean sees the political opening at hand. The only part he fails to grasp is how spectacularly distasteful and off-point his big idea is to the Democratic Party.

    I hate politics. It’s just too dirty – very few elected officers seem to be interested in the good of the people. I’m a little jaded, having lived through five years too many with Bush in office, but according to this, top democrats are little better. Ok, maybe a little, but the idea of serving the people seems to be missing from their ideologies as much as it is from Bush’s.
